Love Notes

I’ve never felt more radiant or celebrated. This was healing, powerful, and something every woman should do at least once.

Shooting with Lucia is an experience that is so joyful and creative that you are left on a high, and with images that you truly LOVE!

Love Notes

Lucia doesn’t just take pictures. She holds space. And the result is something sacred."

It was such a beautiful experience working with Lucia. I walked into her mountain studio and immediately felt at ease and left feeling gorgeous, empowered and strong..

From Behind the Lens… to Right Beside You


I’m Lucia — a portrait photographer, story-catcher, new member of the 40 club.

As I approached this milestone myself, I realized:
We, as women, give so much to everyone else for so long… that we sometimes forget to see ourselves.

This campaign was born from that realization — not just for me, but for all of us.

It’s not about pretending to be someone you’re not.
It’s about being seen as you truly are — powerful, radiant, evolving.

I don’t just want to photograph you.
I want to witness you.
I want to celebrate you.
And I want to help you leave something lasting — for yourself, and for those who love you.

If you’ve never felt beautiful in a photo, or if you’ve waited until “someday” to do something just for you…
Let this be your invitation.
Let this be your moment.

-Lucia

The experience of being photographed by Lucia Kiel is a powerful one. It goes far, far deeper than having one's picture taken. It's about connecting with oneself on a more intimate level. It's a collaboration to identify the spark inside you, the fire, and when you find it and see it reflected in Lucia's images, it's an amazing feeling. I cried like a baby when I saw the images for the first time, because I hadn't seen myself that way. It was really like a rebirth and it takes a very special and unique kind of individual to be able to tap into that. This is what Lucia has the expertise to do. The whole session I just looked at her brilliant blue eyes and her gorgeous smile, and it just warmed me and made me feel in the moment and connected to what was happening, so obviously, you are going to get a very marvelous photograph. If you need to be in touch with yourself, if you need to see YOU, you need to see Lucia Kiel for this amazing opportunity. Invest in yourself, you won't regret it! Thank you Lucia!!

-Margarita

This is more than a photo shoot.

It’s a movement to celebrate the radiance, wisdom, and beauty of women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.

To change the narrative.
To claim space.
To build a visual legacy.

And to show the next generation what power looks like.
